CNRS
The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) is the French national organization for scientific research, and the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. Since 2007, PIMS has been a "International Research Laboratory (IRL)" of CNRS, and the only such IRL in western Canada.
PIMS-CNRS IRL #3069, originally signed in 2007 and renewed in 2019, has been an integral component of efforts to facilitate and encourage research collaborations between mathematical scientists at PIMS member universities in North America and researchers across France.
In 2007 PIMS became a UniteĢ Mixte Internationale of the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). The CNRS has committed to send to PIMS several chargeĢs de recherches or maiĢtres de conferences. These researchers will spend one year at a PIMS site, working with PIMS research teams. PIMS has committed to give Postdoctoral Fellowships to French applicants, as a matter of reciprocity
